Talk:Timeline of first women's suffrage in majority-Muslim countries

Albania

Albania is not a majority Muslim country, there are different conflictual statistics on this issue. I think Albania should be removed from this list, nothing links it with these countries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecad93 (talk • contribs) 17:45, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

The article Islam in Albania estimates Muslims to form up to 80% percent of the total population in Albania. Why don't you challenge that article first? Dimadick (talk) 05:52, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Make table instead of list?

The text currently notes: "Even countries listed may not have universal suffrage for women, and some may have regressed in women's rights since the initial granting of suffrage." A table would allow for clarification of these issues. E.g., columns for, as of 2011: "Democratic? Yes/No" (or maybe a Freedom House or Prosperity Index indicator), "Universal? Yes/No", "Regressed?".

Remove factually incorrect 3rd paragraph shifting blame from Islamic policies to Western colonialism.

Remove the uncited 3rd paragraph, which begins "It should be mentioned that...national independence and woman's suffrage occurred simultaneously." It claims (without citation) that the "seeming belatedness" of women's suffrage in Islamic lands was due to European colonization and not Islamic politics. Blaming European colonialism does not explain why women's suffrage was so slow only in Muslim colonies, compared to non-Muslim European colonies. The 3rd paragraph ends with another false claim (without citation): "Often national independence and woman's suffrage occurred simultaneously." This is true only for Algeria, Sierra Leone, Malaya, Guinea, and (allegedly) Pakistan. Among the many Muslim nations listed here that acquired suffrage under European colonial rule are French & British Somaliland, Senegal, Maldives, Niger, Ivory Coast, Mali, Upper Volta, and Chad. The other ex-colonial nations slow to give women the vote were under Ottoman colonial rule at the beginning of the 20th century, not European. Places like Algeria, Tunisia, Crimea, Albania, Tajik, Kazakh, Turkmen, Turkey, Morocco, Palestine, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Kuwait, Yemen, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan had been colonies under the Ottomans or Persian for centuries, so why single out European colonialism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phileklund (talk • contribs) 06:15, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
